On this page, you can search for lessons and activities by grade level and topic. Each lesson description is comprehensive: learning objectives, aligned standards, material listings, instructional plans, questions for students, assessment options, extensions, and ideas for teacher reflection. Many lessons have accompanying online interactive tools. If you are looking for something different, an engaging hands-on lesson, or ideas to enhance your current lessons, this is the website for you! Every Math teacher should have this page bookmarked! <span style="color: rgb(249, 9, 6);"><span style="color: rgb(160, 3, 3);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 3, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(29, 1, 2);"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">//Shared by Susanna Robertson// <span style="color: rgb(249, 9, 6);"><span style="color: rgb(160, 3, 3);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 3, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(29, 1, 2);"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">     <span style="color: rgb(249, 9, 6);"><span style="color: rgb(160, 3, 3);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 3, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(29, 1, 2);"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">  <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Rating:  <span style="color: rgb(249, 9, 6);"><span style="color: rgb(160, 3, 3);">**<span style="color: rgb(255, 3, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(241, 4, 9);">ÓÓÓÓÓ  **  <span style="color: rgb(249, 9, 6);"><span style="color: rgb(160, 3, 3);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 3, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(29, 1, 2);">

It is a non-profit, educational research and development organization that provides professional development programs. I have taken several Seeing Math courses through PBS and highly recommend them. One of the great resources provided by Seeing Math is a collection of free math interactives. Although the interactives are classified as seconday math, they can also be used in middle school. Piecewise functions, linear transformations, and function analyzers are available, as well as a tool that demonstrates how mean, median, and mode are affected when a data set is changed and another which allows students to interactively experiement with proportion and scale. These interactive utilities eliminate the tedious paper and pencil processes of graphing and allow students to concentrate on the concepts themselves. They are also just fun to use! <span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">//<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Shared by Susanna Robertson // <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Rating: <span style="color: rgb(249, 9, 6);"><span style="color: rgb(160, 3, 3);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 3, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(7, 4, 4);">        <span style="color: rgb(249, 9, 6);"><span style="color: rgb(160, 3, 3);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 3, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(29, 1, 2);"><span style="color: rgb(249, 9, 6);"><span style="color: rgb(160, 3, 3);">**<span style="color: rgb(255, 3, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(241, 4, 9);">ÓÓÓÓÓ  **  <span style="color: rgb(249, 9, 6);"><span style="color: rgb(160, 3, 3);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 3, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(29, 1, 2);">        <span style="color: rgb(249, 9, 6);"><span style="color: rgb(160, 3, 3);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 3, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(29, 1, 2);"><span style="color: rgb(249, 9, 6);"><span style="color: rgb(160, 3, 3);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 3, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(7, 4, 4);">

It offers math games, and thinking skills games, as well as things for teachers like lesson plans and reproducible worksheets. It also has a blog that allow teachers to share ideas, hints and tips. My technology students, when they finish their computer assignments, love to "play" at this website. I love the fact that they are actually having to think and figure out the brain-teaser games. This site is easy to use and very "kid-friendly." <span style="color: rgb(249, 9, 6);"><span style="color: rgb(160, 3, 3);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 3, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(29, 1, 2);"><span style="color: rgb(249, 9, 6);"><span style="color: rgb(160, 3, 3);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 3, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(14, 1, 1);"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">//Shared by Donna Staples// Rating: <span style="color: rgb(207, 12, 12);">ÓÓÓÓÓ
